...issues and positions are the product of careful polling. For the most part, they are strikingly congruent with the concerns most people say they are interested in, like requiring able-bodied people on welfare to work for their assistance and offering college loans in return for community service. Fashioning an easily understood plan for national health insurance is the last major volley in Clinton's blitz. To defuse an anticipated attack from Kerrey, who has made health care his strongest issue, Clinton was expected to release his program this week...

One could hardly call it an illustration of the poem, although Eliot seems to make an appearance as the clerkish figure with spectacles and hearing aid in the lower left corner, an irritable St. Anthony tempted by a naked girl to whom he has clearly not been...
